'Smash' star Katharine McPhee's plunging Theyskens' Theory dress seriously went down-to-there, putting her enviable cleavage on full display.

John Shearer, Invision/AP

Jodie Foster: The Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement honoree gave an emotional, winding speech that covered everything from her sexuality (sort of) to privacy to a possible retirement announcement.

I'd like to be directing tomorrow. I'm actually more into it than I have ever been." As for the is-she-or-isn't-she-coming-out portion of her speech, Foster, in navy Giorgio Armani, remained coy.

Sally Field: "I love her work," she says of her Alberta Ferretti dress. "I asked her to do something soft and feminine." But, the 'Lincoln' star says, "It's not expected to be comfortable. If you can breathe, there's something wrong." Jordan Strauss, Invision/AP

Jessica Chastain: "I've always wanted to wear seafoam green," the 'Zero Dark Thirty' star said of her backless Calvin Klein dress. "It's very old Hollywood but super modern.

I like to highlight the dress and feel as comfortable as possible." Hopefully her red satin Casadei peeptoe slingback platform pumps were comfortable, too. Jason Merritt, Getty Images
